31 Days of Horror: The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms.

A different sort of monster story of unrequited love by Ray Bradbury with illustrations by James R. Bingham. Originally published in The Saturday Evening Post (June 23, 1951) .

The story was later collected in anthologies under the new title The Fog Horn to distance it from the 1953 monster movie. The film producers bought the rights from Bradbury and used the Post illustration by Bingham as a basis for the creature.

The comic book industry also adapted a slightly changed story in a 1953 issue of Tales of Horror without crediting Bradbury.

The Beast from the Deep! Published in Tales of Horror #7 (October 1953). Popularly credited to Ray Bradbury (An unknown author scripted the comic) with art by Howard Rosenberger.
